HC Deb 30 May 1961 vol 641 c1W
4. Mr. Parker

asked the Minister of Works what progress has been made in the discussions about the preservation of the Old Manor House, Deal, and con version for modern use.

Lord John Hope

On the advice of the Historic Buildings Council for England, I offered the Deal Corporation a grant of £2,500 towards the cost of structural repairs to the Old Manor House; but even with this help the Corporation did not feel able to undertake its preservation. I understand that the building has now been demolished.
